[Trisquel-users] Old Kernels

[lloyd]

Hi,

My Trisquel 7 installation just updated itself from  
linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic to linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic. Which is  
great, no probelm with that.

The question I have, though, is why it doesn't remove the old kernel when it  
does this? With most other software, the new version replaces the old one  
after an apt-get upgrade. Yet with kernels, it seems to leave the old verison  
in place. I can manually remove the old kernel and header files with apt-get  
remove, but I just wonder why this doesn't happen automatically?

Thanks.
